(trace_move) [GLYPH_DEBUG]: New variable. (TRACE_MOVE) [GLYPH_DEBUG]: New macro. (move_it_in_display_line_to): Record iterator's ascent and descent before producing glyphs, and restore them when we know the glyph doesn't fit on the line. (move_it_to): Restructured so that it's easier to debug. If moving to a vpos, and not moving to an x or character position, stop as soon as the specified vpos is reached; don't move further into that line because that might change the computed line height. (try_cursor_movement): New function, extracted from the cursor movement branch of redisplay_window. If ending on a partially visible line, don't try to scroll if the cursor line is taller than the window. (redisplay_window): Use try_cursor_movement.

This is a list of known problems to date with the Windows NT/95 port of
GNU Emacs.

* Handle wildcards in ls-lisp (e.g., C-x d *.c).

* Interactive subprocess output is buffered in jerky

* Presently, C:\foo\bar and C:/foo/bar bring up two buffers on the same file.
  Solve this by adding a switch that canonicalizes path separators
  (e.g., make them all / or all \)?

* call-process-region: Another tricky situation with binary and text modes.
  An example by [e-mail]: use crypt++ to load compressed
  data into a buffer, edit the buffer, save the data back out.  (Also
  need to propagate the "/C" switch change sent the shell in crypt++.el
  back to the author.)

* Dired uses ls-lisp, which reports all files as being owned by the
  current user.  Need to dig through the security descriptor to extract
  the owner of the file (and the group?) using LookupAccountSid.

* Integrate the build for NT into the GNU config process once
  a decent shell becomes freely available

* Integrate networking.

* Fix Win95 subprocesses.
